This was no hurricane, the NOAA data doesn't support it. From the NHC official updates:
7PM - Freeport, Grand Bahama = gust to 61 mph 10PM - Juno Beach Pier = gust of 55 mph, Settlement Point, Grand Bahama = gust of 55 mph 1AM - buoy 25 miles east of Cape Canaveral = gust to 67 mph
Peak gusts (NOT sustained) 73 mph at Playalinda Beach 70 mph at Melbourne 70 mph at Indialantic 67 mph at Patrick Air Force Base 60 mph at New Smyrna Beach 66 mph at Sebastian Inlet and 58 mph at Vero Beach.
These all occurred during the "hurricane" and none of them met the criteria. #science
I have no idea why the NHC continues to have this disconnect from estimated winds aloft and true ground speed winds, you know the kind the public actually feels the effects of. Despite whatever damage might have occurred nobody in FL or the Bahamas experienced a Cat 1 with Nicole, because in reality it was a strong TS.
